A migrant boat was rescued off Lampedusa, saving 38 migrants

Tax police and local coast guards assisted a small boat off Lampedusa on Wednesday, saving 38 migrants, including 11 women and a minor.

Roman tax police and the coast guard rescued a small boat off Lampedusa on Wednesday, saving 38 migrants including 11 women and a minor, bringing to 124 the number of migrants saved in three rescues south of the southern Italian island on Wednesday, Kazinform learned from ANSA.

A 7-metre boat went down in the Italian search and rescue area (SAR) off Lampedusa.

The boat had come from Tunisia. No one went missing at sea.

A boat carrying 41 migrants was rescued earlier and disembarked.

Additionally, 45 other migrants, including 10 women and five minors, were rescued en route from Sfax, Tunisia, at 5am Tuesday. This was the third landing on Lampedusa in a very short period of time.

Over the past few years, thousands of people have attempted to cross the Mediterranean to reach Europe, often risking their lives in unsafe and overcrowded boats.
